Stereoelectroencephalography‐guided radiofrequency ablation of the epileptogenic zone as a treatment and predictor of future success of further surgical intervention

Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)‐guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasingly being used as a treatment for drug‐resistant localization‐related epilepsy. The aim of this study is to analyze the successes and failures using RFA and how response correlates with surgical epilepsy treatment outcomes.
